Mastering Mindful Moderation - Mindful Eating, powered by Morrison Healthcare, a Division of Compass One Healthcare - Day 5 Tip
Published
Craving that extra cup of coffee or eyeing the tempting snacks in the breakroom? Today's challenge is all about moderation, but we're not here to rain on your indulgence parade. Instead, let's talk about mastering mindful moderation — a crucial skill for a balanced and healthful life.
Moderation doesn't mean deprivation. It's about savoring every bite — yes, even the occasional treat — without overindulging.
As a nurse, your schedule is probably demanding, and the breakroom snacks might seem like a quick energy fix. But approaching these moments with moderation in mind means you can enjoy some treats without any guilt.
Your Actions for Today
Approaching moderation with intention rather than restriction helps you build a sustainable and enjoyable relationship with food. Keep the balance so you can continue your journey toward mindful eating.
Find inspiration from Matthew S. Howard, a #healthynurse who uses moderation to improve his body, mind, and soul.

Your Actions for Today
- Have more portion awareness: Before diving into a snack or meal, assess your portion size. Be mindful of how much you're serving yourself. This simple step helps prevent mindless overeating.
- Treat yourself mindfully: If you're eyeing a not-so-healthy treat, go ahead but savor it slowly. Enjoy each bite and be present in the moment. This mindful approach enhances your satisfaction, making the treat more gratifying.
- Hydration break: Remember, moderation isn't just about food. Stay mindful of your beverage choices, too. If you’re craving a sugary drink, have a sip to squash the craving. Then turn to healthier alternatives like water or herbal tea.
